Puppy Song

Animals are really something aren't they?  They love unconditionally.  Too bad that people aren't the same way.  I love using animal images - they always make me smile.  And over at Deedee's Digi's there is an abundance of animal images!!!  Of course I love each and every one.  This week I made this card using a set called "Make A Joyful Noise".  Here's the card:


Isn't that little puppy just adorable?  Check out the whole set:






I love Deedee's Digis because you get so much in the set - images (colored and uncolored), sentiments, and sometimes even papers!  What more could you ask?  Now don't forget that you can always get Freebies too (and who doesn't like Freebies?).  If you participate in the monthly challenge using the set of the month you will automatically be sent the next months set for FREE!

And before I leave you today...something to encourage you:





God bless you today and thank you for taking time to spend a few moments with me.

Hello Penguin

I'm a day late with my Design Team Spotlight post for Kitty Bee Designs.  Seems like I'm running late all the time lately.  UGH! 

I love Kitty Bee Designs images and there are some great new images in the shop.  For my card I used an image called "Top Hat Penguin".  The background is an embossed sheet that I received in a swap and then I added "thickers" saying HI!  This card has already been sent to the intended recipient to say "Hello". 

And something to encourage you today:


Thanks for stopping by today!!  God bless you!!!

In addition, some of the blog owners may have personal prizes which are only applicable to the country they live in. So come on in, meet our fabulous Design Team, and have some fun!  The prize for my blog will be a $10 gift certificate for the Digistamps4Joy store.

The main DS4J blog is also giving away 100 REWARD POINTS during the Hop to one lucky winner, which can be spent in the Digistamps4Joy store!  Now isn’t that a fabulous prize?  There are some rules for winning these prizes, so make sure you read these below!
